Hey guys I had just started to think that I had seen it all but it turns out that I havnt. So let me start off by saying I've tried following this guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1026746
To get back to stock but when I boot I get to the lock screen and all is fine but when I go to unlock the phone and get to the os around 5 different things force close ranging from touch wiz to settings and to google app packages and I also get a system UID inconstant error and asks if im feeling lucky (but it does matter because I cant get to the home screen seeing as that touch wiz is force closeting constantly) . So... (Deep Breath) I have tryed wiping (factory data reset), wiping cashe partition and dalvik also formating everything I can in the advanced tab in CWM. So please give me and hand with my issue and if you have a file i need to download please post a link with it.
Thanks

I'll say just use ODIN. Download the program, EH03 (if you're Verizon), and PIT v2.2. If you need additional help use this link.

I've already tryed odin and uing the pit it boots but has tons of fcs and errors
If you can find the stock eclair ROM (2.1) it might be worth flashing. It has a 2.1 pit that seems to format more completely and works better for me, then I odin GB with 2.2 pit. I seem to have trouble reformatting with 2.2 .pit and 2.1 .pit works every time. 2.1 pit file is also the only one that will correctly fix ext formatting such as voodoo lagfix. I'm on us cellular so my files won't help.

Ok im pushing now using your 2.2.1 pit i guess if this doesn't work i could try heimdall but i have never used it before and am skeptical to so wish my luck if this doesn't work ill report back
I didn't see you mention it in your earlier posts but are you making sure re-partition is checked in odin when flashing stock ROM with pit file? If not, do it. If so, disregard.

Can you tell us exactly what steps you're using when you use Odin? I noticed the guide you linked to in the OP was a really old sticky. Droidstyle's Guide is the only one that is currently up to date. It doesn't mean you've done anything wrong with Odin, I just want to make sure you have the files in all the right places and the correct check boxes checked.
Please post questions in Q&A

No matter what I do, this phone will not return to a stock unrooted state.
I have tried Odin. It freezes on DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!! or cache.rfs no matter what I do, no matter which computer I run it on, no matter which USB port I plug it into.
Heimdall also fails. It starts, claims that it is updating factory filesystem, then stops with no error message. Reattempting results in the error message "failed to retrieve config descriptor."
No matter what I do, I can't return this phone to stock! This will make it harder to sell if I ever do sell it, and plus, not being able to clean the slate means any 2.2 ROMs I flash have had serious lag problems, leaving me stranded on Eclair!
Help?
i had the same problem, i sent mine to t-mobile and they mailed me a replacement soon after.
I can't actually do that... this phone was purchased second-hand.
have you tried other versions of odin?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I've only tried Odin3v1.00 and Heimdall.
I can't find any downloads for other versions; all Google searches lead to v1.00.

Try no version of odin. or close odin and reopen it, sometimes takes a few shots before it works

+1 for a newer version of Odin.
I thought I had perma-bricked my phone a month ago, but solved the flashing problem simply by using a newer version. Here is 1.7:

Don't do this as this will wipe your backups and apps and all other data on your internal sd card. Use euguenes froyo that does not brick, then when you get stuck at the clockwork recovery screen using that (this is normal) odin back to stock using this:

Thread moved to Q&A.
My sch-i500 was in sc2.9.1 with no voodoo, so I wanted to change the kernel to voodoo so I mistakenly installed voodoo kernel 5.5, which was for gt-i9000.
it looped the boot, so I turned it off and reinstalled sc2.9 by odin. I was able to boot, but I cannot get into red recovery even after applying cwm-recovery-ALL by odin; when I boot into recovery, blue recovery shows up and it says:
"E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblkOp2
(No such file or directory)"
how can I get back to super clean 2.9.1 with voodoo lagfix?
Honestly the easiest way to make sure you are on a clean install would be to flash back to stock with the DL09 (i think) odin package.
Do a search its floating around somewhere. It will bring you to stock and make sure everything is clean.

I know how to do that way, and that is my last resort...
I just want to know if there's any way to fix the problem without going back to stock. I really hate to reset all my settings/apps/data...man I regret not backing up my phone.
You can flash other rom but it will show same error.
Just back up stuff using titanium backup. I've flashed my phone more than ten times and titanium really come handy.
You sure can search every site but you will eventually use my guide
Like I said, I had same exact problem.

Sadly stocking your fascinate may be the only way to go.
If you are able to navigate around in the stock recovery you might be able to find a way to launch red cwm through it or clear the caches and try reflashing with odin.
Good luck!

From within ClockWorkMod Recovery, restore your Nandroid backup from before you installed the ICS ROM?
You did make a Nandroid backup, right?
If that's not an option, how about reflashing with a stock Odin? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24507376

What about the EXE prevents the use of CWM Recovery restore? Can't you just install CWM Recovery on it, then restore a previous Nandroid backup?
Yeah i used exe. And i have tried flashing via odin and nothing is working. I could just be doing it wrong. So if you have a idea please give specific directions. I am really missing that overclock kernel right about now. Haha.

Stock Odin Gingerbread is at least 450MB. Not sure what you are flashing.
The image to go back to stock is over 800mb in size found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1506330
Pick the right image for your carrier, download it... run odin with your phone plugged in, put the .tar file in the [pda] section of Odin and flash. That should return you back to bone stock. After that then do whatever you did prior to installing ICS.
edit: Personally I never restore apps and whatnot from titanium backup after making such a big change, you never can tell what effect restored apps will have on a fresh install.
